Pile It On Challenge #114





Hi, Friends!

Happy Sunday to you!  I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! I'm here today to share a card I made for the Pile It On Challenge. The theme for the challenge is to make your own background. Paper Sweeties is sponsoring the challenge with a $25 gift certificate!

And, here is my card...



For my card, I started with a black card base from Bazzill.  I used Tim Holtz water color paper and distress inks(mustard seed, spiced marmalade, picked raspberry) for the sky.  The butterflies, sparklers(used as trees) and bird nest(used as pine tree and grass) are from the stamp set I Love Summer stamp set.  The sentiment is from Life is a Picnic.  

And, just a reminder...I hope to see your creation over at the Paper Sweeties Challenge that is still going on until the end of the month!




Thank you so much for dropping by!  Please stop back on 8-10-16 for Paper Sweeties Birthday Blog Hop!!!

Hugs,
Maria

    I love the whole silhouette look, and your sunset sky is amazing! Super clever stamping, my friend! I would never think to use sparklers for the pine, and bird nests for the grass. SO fun!
